i use a screen that has a diameter or 20" for my two 600s... no bleaching or burning. all buds are less than 10" from the bulb

diameter of 20" or radius?

I agree, can't someone knowledgeable make a sticky about what diameter, max height with a single hid etc? Kinda sucks to search everytime one want to know.

From experience the scorch screen diameter (at this distance anything touching the screen will scorch)
250 - 12" diameter
400 - 14" diameter
600 - 16" diameter

Add 2" and that's your optimum lamp screen size

OK weed whacker & komplex?
